Circuit Game
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a game that tests their steadiness. Learners construct the game board by setting up an electrical circuit and a wand.
Electrical Fleas
Source Institutions
In this activity about electricity, learners explore how static electricity can make electric "fleas" jump up and down. Learners use a piece of wool cloth or fur to charge a sheet of acrylic plastic.
Creepy Crawlers
Source Institutions
Trick your family and friends with this creepy crawler that moves up and down. In this activity, learners construct a circuit and motor device that will move a homemade spider in a spooky way.
The Electric Squeeze
Source Institutions
In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.
Making a Battery from a Potato
Source Institutions
In this electrochemistry activity, young learners and adult helpers create a battery from a potato to run a clock.
Circuits with Friends
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the parts of a circuit by modeling, as a group, a “human” circuit.
Electroscope
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make an electroscope out of a foam cup, straw, aluminum pie pan, thread, and foil. Learners use their electroscopes to test for static electricity.
Forward-Reverse Switch
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a switch to turn electrical circuits on and off.
Static Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use static elecricity to bend a stream of water without touching it. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.
Static Cling
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate static electricity using everyday objects at four different stations.
Carrying Charges: Testing for Conductivity
Source Institutions
Learners are challenged to create solutions that conduct electricity and make a buzzer buzz (or an LED light up).
Hand Battery
Source Institutions
In this activity about chemistry and electricity, learners form a battery by placing their hands onto plates of different metals.
